CNC Zero Hour

AGM,

What happened with the new Generals, I just saw that it was canceled.

Yeah wow you're late at getting the news From what I gathered, it got axed because the project wasn't feasible on several levels. Basically the community who played the alpha weren't impressed by the lack of a single player experience. Also the game was designed to follow a free-to-play model and so people would end up buying extra generals and powers etc...which clearly would have been a NIGHTMARE to balance. It is to be developed by another studio at some point though, because EA are too greedy not to milk a popular franchise.

Maybe AGM's take on the matter will be more accurate though

Eh, lots of bullshit. EA, being the big company it is, doesn't exactly have a unified vision of games. So when EA did some executive shuffling around, the new executives probably didn't have as much faith in a free to play RTS as the previous executives did.

Whatever their reasons for shutting the game down were, I can tell you from the perspective of a fan / alpha player that the game needed a fucking lot of work to be anywhere near half the game Zero Hour was. While it had potential to be awesome if had a lot more time, where it stood at the time of cancellation was quite bad (again, just speaking from the perspective of a fan/Zero Hour zealot )

One of these days I will write a proper overview of everything wrong with that game, but I can't be arsed to do that right now. It would take too long.

Ah that sucks do u still have a job or did you get laid off?

You mean Generals, AGM. Not Zero Hour.

Got laid off. Moving back home in a couple of weeks.

Dang that sucks. I bet it was neat working there though for the time which you did work.

Again, sorry to hear about that man.

Sorry to hear, AGM.
Best of luck.

As with them, sorry man. That was a good opportunity there. I was excited for ya.

On the bright side, this means I don't have to upgrade my computer anytime soon.
